Football is back! We’re almost 24 hours away from the Eagles first “home” game in Brazil. It’s nice to be back with the tailgate friends:

Here’s a round-up of stuff from the stadium, to practice, to Samba(!), and more you might have missed on Instagram, Twitter, and Threads. Yes, Threads! Reporters have been banished to the exile of Threads because the Brazilian government banned X last week. No more of the same tweet about an Eagle going to the blue medical tent from 15 different accounts…at least for one week.

Welcome to world-famous Neo Química Arena, or as I like to call it Lincoln Financial Field South. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Is that the wildfire smoke choking Brazil currently or is ZBerm behind a camera like this?

 


The stadium might have steeper balcony than the Spectrum:

Fly Eagles Fly in Corinthians stadium sounds beautiful! Listen to that music reverberate off of the seats:

Is that field supposed to be different colors?

Nick Sirianni has a plan for the Brazilian fans attending tomorrow:

Over in Rio, Phans of Philly has a bunch of Eagles fans declaring the Rio airport theirs before they board the flight to Sao Paulo:

I don’t think WordPress configures well with Threads at the moment, but some of the beats are using it because of the aforementioned Twitter ban. These are courtesy of Dave Zangaro’s Threads account:

 

The stadium looks sick at night. The Corinthians colors are black and white, which would make more sense why the Eagles chose to go black helmets, white jersey, and black pants. Jalen Hurts is going to look like Willie Beamen out there if the Miami Sharks had an alternate white jersey:

How did we never get Jamie Foxx in a white Sharks jersey? Did the Sharks play all their games away? Was Oliver Stone asleep at the wheel?

Dave’s got an equally-frightening picture in front of Corinthians stadium. It’s like those terrible Instagram filters we used to use when the app was first released:

Jeff McLane’s picture is a little better. This is like looking at an apartment on Zillow where you hate the square footage, the kitchen, the lack of bathrooms, but you love the neighborhood and look at all the natural sunlight it lets in!

Jake Elliott is big in Brazil! Who knew?

Saquon’s gotten more gifts though:

Here’s Jordan Mailata talking to Roger Goodell, probably telling him next time he sends the Eagles somewhere make sure it’s a place that doesn’t include 20 hours of travel. Even with first class seating those knees have to tighten up:

Looks like the Eagles get to test out the field before the game while the Packers are at a practice field:

The locker rooms are TINY. Like high school athletics tiny. What is this? A locker room for ants?

Here’s the main lobby of the stadium. Which shuttered Simon property mall in the Delaware Valley does this one look like right now?

FWIW, there is another picture of a locker room on Neo Química Arena’s site. This locker room looks up to snuff compared to the other pics above:

 

Here are some more pictures on the way out:
